First off, great work Dave. Can't wait to see if you make your 5 day window.
Charlie64, who did the previous swap prior to taking your car to Loyde's? I am sure you don't want to turn this post into a flame war but if you had problems with the previous installer, then some of us who have swaps in mind for the future would like to know who to avoid.
What was wrong with your car prior to taking it to Loyde's? It looked pretty good (the car not so much the engine) and I am guessing it ran...or maybe not.

The car had little quirks in the rear suspension and I was looking for more power than a stock configuration. Check your PMs about the other info.

Also, I drove the car from IL to VA....had an overheating issue which was solved with a 4 core radiator from V8Archie. Drove the car from VA to FLW, MO for a course I attended in 2005. No issues. Sent you a PM regarding the other question.

Mud dauber (sometimes called "dirt dauber," "dirt digger," "dirt dobber," "dirt diver", or "mud wasp") is a name commonly applied to a number of wasps from either the family Sphecidae or Crabronidae that build their nests from mud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_dauber
Yeah, they're cool, and very docile. Won't sting unless you really work hard to piss them off.
The rescue of this ride is looking good, can't wait to see it done! Is it going to get new paint as well?[/QUOTE]
That's also in the works Jazz. Going to stick with black.

Once again, great work Dave, can't wait to see the video of the test drive and hear the exhaust note.

I'm going to bring my wife's HD camcorder when I go up in a mere 15 days....but not like I'm counting Too bad I don't have an iPhone. I'd stream the video to youtube!
Bought her the camera for Christmas. She bought me a blender for making margaritas. Who were we really shopping for????

 Look on the bright side Dave. This Dave was micro-soldering 36-40 AWG all day long today.  100 connections per item and got 6 done today. My eyes hurt and i bet yours does too. Snooze!

I didn't need to solder any of the wires. They were too long, so I cut them and repinned them with new pcm terminals.
II'm getting ready for our final day....hoping everything goes as planned.
